Amber Ahmed
I have studied medicine, engineering and data science. I have worked in diverse set of industries. I believe that one way of finding efficient and long lasting solutions to existing problems is by harnessing the power of data. I have spearheaded data visualization and automation projects that have been critical in identifying process mismatch, reducing engineering time and associated labor costs.
Currently searching for a position that allows me to build data-driven solutions leveraging a combination of process engineering and data science to help create robust chemical manufacturing processes.

Industry Experience
I have worked as a process engineer in high volume manufacturing as well as R&D. I have created a process analytics dashboard for a process with more than 40 critical parameters. I have led a team of technicians on R&D process manufacturing floor while serving as the liaison for cross functional team collaboration. I have completed training in process design for six sigma and robotic process automation. I perform best in a collaborative work environment.
Engineer II
San Diego, CA
Illumina Inc.
2018 - 2017
- Led process inventory, and resource management as well as planning and scheduling for proto part assembly during the critical design verification test phase for iSeq100 consumable cartridge. Served as a liaison between the product development and NPI teams.
- Constructed html dashboard for continuous reporting of proto process quality metrics (line yield, process yield, failure pareto etc.). Automated control charts for 40 critical parameters reported by 11 process and QC (quality control) tools with JSL and R scripts.
- Completed two week long offsite training for programming liquid handling robotic systems.
Process Engineer
Chandler, AZ
Intel Corporation
2017 - 2016
- Owned and lead the stability, performance, and improvement functions of highly advanced photolithography equipment which provides operational support to Intel’s 10nm and 14nm chip manufacturing processes.
- Recognized for leading an effort to analyze and explain low parametric matching scores as a function of inherent variability in the equipment. Used IP database script and SQL database query for data extraction and JMP for data manipulation and analyses.
- Recognized for automating process control system daily report for module morning pass down saving more than 100 hr./year of indirect labor cost.
